Les, my parents are covered on my Dad's health care retirement plan which is excellent so my information about medicare is limited.

I don't know if it is still legal to do this, but I do know that some doctors refused to accept medicare patients because their reimbursements were low. So the thing that bothers me about medicare is you don't necessarily have access to the good specialists. That bugs me. You can't even pay the doctor the amount they charge that's above the medicare reimbursement because that's considered illegal, so your access to certain good specialists gets completely cut off.

It sounds like your Dad had a high deductible for doctors visits and outpatient care?

Regards,
Amy J
